2020 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 4MATIC

This 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 has been listed by the auction with Salvage condition and “Rear” as the primary damage classification. The Stage 1 assessment states that the visible rear bumper, trunk-lid, rear quarter-panel, and left tail-lamp damage supports the stated rear primary-damage code; however, salvage status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photos alone. The main damage is concentrated at the left and center rear. The rear bumper cover is severely crushed and deformed, with large cracks, separated sections, and open gaps exposing components behind it. The left rear tail-lamp assembly is severely damaged, separated from the body, and has a broken or cracked lens area with an exposed outer gap. The lower edge of the trunk lid shows moderate buckling and deformation, resulting in an uneven gap above the bumper. The left rear quarter panel also has moderate dents and creasing around the tail-lamp opening and the bumper junction. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a four-door sedan equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M260 engine, rated at 221 horsepower, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Hungary. NHTSA records list multiple recalls for this model and year, including recalls involving the driver-side front airbag module, instrument-cluster software, emergency-call communication software, rearview-camera display and sensing functions, and a possible fuel-rail or injector leak. A further listed recall concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch and potential automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase.<lemma
